Anyone else surprised that Rivera has not taken over defensive play calling? Usually a team that is losing it will have their head coach take over play calling for their particular specialty in order to right the ship._________________

But the defense hasn't really been the problem for the most part. That's the frustrating thing. Everybody expected the defense to be weak, but the offense to pick up where it left off last season. At least I know I did._________________

Agreed, D allowed 20 points yesterday, 7 of which was in garbage time. Again, allot better than I expected from them facing a Manning led offense.
